anyone have a link to the intellifeed protocall? or can confirm my thoughts (need for a little project i am working on).
i know that it can be activated by shorting the two wires together.
what i think is going on. using one of the wires as a reference (floating ground) when the other wire is shorted with it (the other wire would have a different voltage state, and is a weak current source). when the two are shorted, you effectivly bring the wire of the different voltage state to the potential of the floating ground. which can be measured on the loader end and can be used to activate the loader.
or is it simpilly a matter of allowing the current to activate the loader to flow through the wires?
